First of all you know nothing about that transaction and that is what he told you how ever what he failed to tell you is that drove the car and was happy and was amazed how fast it was, he got a car that was running but needed final tuning which I decided to help him with if it had a problem .On taking the car home he changed the wires and instead of wiring up the wires in the right firing order he wired it up 12345678 in block order that is when the the injector plugs blew out and the distributor came apart.

What he never told you was the engine had a bad head gasket when I got it running which I notified him about and I agreed to fix it for him for $200 in labor which I did .
What was never told is he decided to change to carb and he purchased his parts from Summit on his credit cards ,
What was never told is the amount I initially charged him how much did I receive .
What he never told you when he came to my house he was treated good even had some food and asked for seconds (barbecue chicken) saying how it was the beast it tasted.
What he never told you was when he came to pick up the car he wanted to take it out side before he paid me until I told him no pay first then take the car ..we are not as stupid and uneducated as you believe

Opened up my house to him and for him to say I screwed him over that is sad but life goes on with out regrets.

Among the payment I got was a flat screen monitor the first one died the second was returned elsewhere and other things that was received (that part I will leave alone) as there are legal ramification but all I had to do is pick up the phone and make a call,so he is not particularly truthful in his accusations.

He asked me to come down to look at the car after they were trying to get it started and I told him it would not be possible to go that far just bring it back up which he never did , that is when he posted that I did shoddy work on his car .The injector holes are generally plugged up in case you would like to go back to fuel injection the plugs could be easily removed and install the injectors and all the swaps I have done this method has never failed but if the car is firing 12345678 it only proves he did not know what he was doing he called me and I corrected him how to rewire it and that is when he got it running I even called his cell # to ask him why he was talking that trash he blocked my number I do have his work # though and what if I decided to spill the beans.

Since you know more fill me in so talk all you want it means nothing and you will always be a troll causing trouble.

You are a very two faced person, And a hypocrite... You call me a lapdog but you are doing the same stuff.... I guess it's to look cool to some of your friends over at the Unrealtechfiero forum, You get fustraited because I pointed out your faults and to combat it you resort to calling ppl fags. You are also extreamly rude.

And I don't think those are the only reasons you have a problem with MTA. As you can see.... you were the only person I jumped on in this thread (and for good reason to)

Unlike you I know all stories have 2 sides to them. I also know that what happened between him and chris is not my buisness.

If any other person or company did the work, I would be after them.

Earl, you are still assuming. Want my schedual this week? Since you are uninformed and won't stop assuming I'll tell you.

Monday-Friday day shifts, Sunday and Monday night shifts. That leaves Saturday as a day off. When you are a shift worker, working 12 hour days with a 50 minute commute to and from work you are bagged. I get tomorrow off (Saturday). After working so much, its pretty tough to find motivation to do anything. Some things NEED to be done such as mowing the grass, general house stuff.

Since you are not a shift worker or a home owner, I expect you know nothing about this type of schedual. Now, fit working on a motor swap somewhere in there. I leave at 5:30 in the morning and get home at 7:30 in the evening. Eat when I get home and veg for an hour before bed.

Only thing that makes it worth it is the money. Being a power engineer at a natural gas processing plant pays VERY well. There is no shortage of $$$ for my motor swap.

Now you are informed.

So is 13.20 what to expect from a stock SBC LT-1 swap no less?

I wonder if the 4.9 will get any props for running faster than all naturally aspirated 3.4 DOHCs?

Chris Moore's Northstar ran a 13.30 the same time as Rockcrawl in his 4.9 I almost forgot to mention that.

Bottom line take a sober look at the list and stop bashing 4.9 swaps.

http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/034445.html

Rockcrawl and Will know how to drive, which is also reflected in their 1/4 mile times.

Edit to add, which is a cool fact. Will has the fastest stock engine swap on that list, and he was running 25hp short of where he should have been.

So how do you explain Chris Moore's time and the stats on the 4.9 vs. the 3.4 DOHCs?

I didn't do the 3.4dohc to be a drag engine, it just suited the personality of the car and my driving habits. I wanted something faster so I was going to turbo the 3.4 or install a N*. A stock motor that will do mid 12s with a good driver sounds about right to me.

Will was running a Getrag 5 speed, which really suits the motor. Less driveline loss as well. I believe Chris Moore is running the 4T80e, which is also quite heavy. That trani does not suit a dohc V-8 at all. Chris says his car is also heavy, quite a bit of weight was added when it was converted to a convertible.

I think it comes down to something called torque.
